REPORT TO THE PRESIDEr T 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: Under the Code of Fair Competition for the Lumber and 

Timber Products Industries as approved by you on August 19, 

1933, the Lumber Code Authority has submitted Amendment No. 

52 which is included and attached. 

This is a report on said Amendment hearing on which was conducted in Washington, D.C., on March 27 and 30, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

,Vhen the Code was written the principle of past performance 

wa clearly considered as evidenced by the provi ions embodied 

therein for the control of production through allocation. The 

interim Article was not intended to be permanent and the purpo e 

of this Amendment is to give a permanent method of allocation to 

those Divisions and Subdivisions, which by a two-thirds vote wish 

to continue on the hourly basis. This Amendment in providing a 

permissive m-ethod of allocation on an hourly ba is will permit 

Divisions and Subdivisions to relate their production to a labor 

program and to determine a minimum work-week for labor. The 

majority of the witnesses appearing at the Hearing favored this 

Amendment, and I would point out that the Amendment is not compulsory in its application unless authorized by a two-thirds majority 

vote in any Division or Subdivision. The request for administrative 

authority on the part of the Code Authority is justified by the information and evidence which has been submitted. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

Amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in this mattBr; 

I find that: 

(a) The Amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of indu try for the purpose 

of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction and upervi ion, by eliminating unfair competitive practic by promoting the fullest po sible utilization of the 

rresent productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restrict10ns of production ( except as may be temporarily required) by increasing the con umption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increa ing purcha ing power, by reducino- and relievinO' 

unemployment by impro ing standards of labor, a~d by otherwi ~ rehabilitating industry. 

(2)

(b) The Code as amended complies in all re pects with the pertinent provi ions of said Title of aid Act, including without limitation Sub ection (a) of ection 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

ub ection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( ) The ode empowers the Code Authority to present the afore- said Amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

( d) The Amendment and the ode as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopoli tic practices. 

( e) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppre s mall enterpri es and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

( f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

Amendment. 

For the...,e reasons, therefore, I have approved this Amendment to 

the-Code. 

Respectfully, 

JUNE 5, 1934. 

HUGH s. JOHNSON, 

Administrator.

impractical otherwise to administer production control within said
